Is it necessary to use get and post if it is already done on n8n

Is it necessary to use get and post if it is already done on n8n

At a glance

The community members are discussing how to integrate data from Airtable on WebStudio and automate the process with N8N. The main points are:

- The community member wants to display data from Airtable on WebStudio and connect it to N8N for automations.

- They are unsure if they need to use GET and POST from WebStudio, or if JSON is enough since Airtable is already integrated with N8N.

- The community members clarify that the flow involves rendering data from Airtable, posting data from WebStudio to Airtable, and doing automations in N8N.

- They explain that the choice between GET/POST and JSON depends on the specific requirements, and that N8N has conversion nodes to handle form encoding and JSON.

- The answer is that to display Airtable data on WebStudio, the community member should fetch the data directly from Airtable, rather than importing it.

I want to integrate data from airtable on webstudio and automate the process with n8n. N8N already offers post and get for the airtable api should I also integrate post and get on webstudio or json is enough if airtable is already integrated with n8n

Sorry, don't understand the question. Try explaining what you are doing step by step

I want to display data from AirTable on WebStudio, and at the same time connect it to N8N to do automations. My question is: am I obliged to use Get and Post from WebStudio even if N8N uses it or to use JSON on WebStudio.

Sounds like you are talking about 2 features:

rendering data from airtable
posting data from webstudio to airtable
doing some automations with the data in n8n

correct?

or do you post data from webstudio to n8n and want to do automations there before the data goes to airtable?

not clear what your flow is, what is being sent to where

proposition 1 and 3 is what I'm talking about. Is it mandatory to use get and post or just json could be enough?

do you post from webstudio to n8n?

if you do you would need to use a webhook

which is a post

there is no get/post vs json, it doesn't work that way:

thre is methods: get/post/delete/patch etc
there is encoding: application/x-www-form-urlencoded, multipart/form-data

html forms are also encoded like above, they don't use json natively

I am assuming what you want is to get a json in n8n and not the form encoding

for this n8n has conversion nodes from form encoding to json, so you send it as a form from webstudio, then turn it into json in n8n

If I want the data from Airtable to be displayed on WebStudio, so I import it, what should I do?

You don't import it, you fetch the data in webstudio directly from airtable

its basic data fetching setup we have on many tutorials

check out building directory with airtable

webstudio is not a static site builder, its a server that can do things in. real time

just one last question is does the json depend on get or post?

no

Ok thanks a lot of 😊
